Unit 2: Eating Out
Some people enjoy dining out because they would like to eat their favorite dishes.
Others like the way food are being cooked in a particular restaurant. Name and
describe dishes that you usually order when dining out.
Answer A:
I love dining out on weekends. Because of my busy working schedule, I barely have enough time
to prepare dishes for myself. Therefore, whenever I eat out, I make sure that I order the best I can.
My all-time favorite is beef barbecue, popularly known as Bulgogi in Korea. It is prepared from
beef sirloin, cut into pieces and marinated in a mixture of sesame oil, soy sauce, black pepper,
garlic, sugar, onions, ginger, and wine. It is usually eaten with Kimchi, wrapped in a lettuce. I eat
Bulgogi almost weekly. My officemates love it too.
